Could the heating coil make a flame on hemp wick or is it only used to start an ember?

I believe it would....We actually have a different type/brand of one of these, and it works great. We light everything with it. Hope this helps....

This work well lighting cigarettes, I don't believe the coil gets hot enough to create a flame on a wick.

I used it on a cast iron radiator but that isn't a direct fire. Don't really know.

Yes, that is what it is intended to use. This torch can use a mapp style gas or propane. Very good product. The only caution I have found is that if you dial back the gas flow it can overheat the tip/lighting mechanism. This torch is meant to be used in a "full" on heat setting only.

It's a flame so I'm sure you could but I don't know how effective it would be. It's like the gel fuel used to keep food hot at a buffet. It's a great decorative fire.

I have to put it out & also allow it to burn off, yet the wick will not light to allow the hand warmer to heat up. I've tried it several times without success.

I'm definitely not a pro candle maker so I don't know the technicalities of the wick but I can tell you that it worked very well for what I did with it: soy candles made in mugs. Seemed to burn very well and very clean and was easy to work with.

Yes. I like my unit, but find it pulls a lot of power when the heat is on. It hs a vert authentic looking flame.

yes, but seriously be careful. thing overheats and will burn you like a strain iron!

Honestly? I wouldn't use it near a flame in the way you describe. It's galvanized, which when heated, gives off seriously DEADLY fumes. Use at your own risk, of course....but it's also not a heavy gauge and probably wouldn't last as long as you need. I'd check into non-galvanized, heavy-gauge mesh with a bit larger openings. I hope I don't sound too preachy! I've had a run-in with heating galvanized metal and it wasn't fun.

I don't think I would use it in that situation. It is very open and embers can fly easily out.

No - very intense and concentrated flame. I use it only on my gravel driveway and gravel landscaping. I have some mulched areas but would not dare to use it there. Guaranteed fire from such an intense heat.

Honestly, it is only used for show. I would NOT, however, put it directly on a burner. I would put the hot liquid into it and maybe put it onto a warming plate only. -- never on a stove gas burner or hot electric coil. Hope this helps.

I have flame gas stove so it works great for me but I am not sure about how it would do with coil stove.

No!! It uses a fuel, that when burned, emits carbon monoxide. ONLY use outdoors.

yes, I believe you can. My use for it requires that I not produce any soot so I buy refill wick in science stores.

I placed the coil on the cement floor of my laundry room so that it could burn during the night and when I went to check on it 15 minutes later it had burned out. I haven't tried another one since so I cannot answer your question. Thank you!

Yes. Use sterno cans. Either gel or wick ones. I sometimes only light one since it gets very hot.
